Ernest felt his heart ache seeing her like this. He had thought that after her marriage to the crown prince, she would live a comfortable life. The last time he saw her, she had still been dressed like a noble lady. Now she looked so pitiful.
Remembering that she had been missing for more than half a month, he wondered how she had managed to escape and appear here. But thinking about her situation again, Ernest walked over. Seeing that she was burning with fever, he quickly scanned her body to check if she was hurt.
"Are you injured?" he asked.
"No... snake," Anastasia answered. She could not bring herself to form full sentences, so she said the words she felt were most important.
Ernest looked at her leg, which was tied up. If she had been injured, he could have treated the wound immediately, but he had no antidote for a snake bite.
He could only pick her up and leave in a hurry.
